Let me see if I get this right, Michelle: You don't run this
through verbose logging to see what that says, although you certainly
know how to do that. Then you include the full headers. The
implication is that we are maybe going to take your headers,
take your recipe, plug them in and run it all through verbose
logging to see. After you couldn't be bothered to provide that
information.
Moreover, your cutesy quoting

just makes doing the above all the more difficult, even if were
were somehow moved to want to do so. Nicht wahr? I mean,
we'd have to pipe your message through sed or something first.
Just make-work.
I would be sort of curious to know what's wrong. But I'm not
curious enough to bother stripping your message of quoting and
plugging it into a test harness to get a verbose procmail log
to see, when you could just as easily have done that and provided
same for us to look at.
I'm ragging on you a bit -- yes, I admit it -- because you have
shown that you do know something about what you are doing, and I know
you know how to do this stuff. I know you know how to create
verbose logs. So why are you not bothering, while thinking we're
going to do your work for you?
Krimeney, but I'm starting to sound like another denizen of this
list. I'd better stop griping now or I'll soon get a shady rep. :-)
(In any event, I am not big on writing dozens or more individual
recipes custom-designed to block individual spammers. Much better
use of time is to write intelligent blocking recipes that can
tell the spam from the ham without targeting individual IP addresses,
etc.)
